    dingus replied to r0manticxxx's topic in Government, Military

    Not in, but sorta in the same situation of wanting to get out, see more, and do more. Only difference, don't care where I go as long as I get out of Los Angeles. From my limited knowledge it's...

  8. A Confused Army Nurse

    dingus replied to avansant's topic in Government, Military

    Piggyback question, for example if you are in an ADN program at a community college and you are planning to transfer into a BSN program at a university, do you have to wait until you are in the BSN...
